C. Thomas Howell
May 9th, 2006 : by Will MooreThis weekend’s location scouting went well; I’ve locked down all but four or five locations. You can check out a few of the pictures on the gallery page under location scouting 5.6.2006.
I will finish breaking down the script this week and once finished I can begin making out a shot list… and from there, stick figure story boards… yeah baby. It looks like I am going to hold my first casting session in a couple weeks. More to come, so stay tuned. Also, we are presently talking with C. Thomas Howell’s people regarding him doing a cameo. The movie that I always remember C. Thomas Howell from is the The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer but he’s been in the game since the late seventies, staring in movies such as The Outsiders, ET. The Extra-Terrestrial, and Hidalgo. In addition to this, legendary Houston Oilers head coach Bum Phillips has agreed to be in the film. If you don’t know who Bum Phillips is, hit yourself over the head… then google him. The man is famous for his colorful quotes.

I’ve met Bum. He’s come out to my family’s arean/ranch and I have found him to be a neat & colorful person.

You never fail to impress me, Will. I’m so happy for all of you that this movie seems to be coming together at an amazing rate. Work hard, and things really will pay off. Congratulations.

Having been a teenage girl in the 80’s and watching the Outsiders and Red Dawn (among others) this is definitely getting more and more exciting…. This is all so exciting anyway. I appreciate the Blog so much in that it makes us almost feel as though we are really a part of this film. I worked on 2 small films in the North Ga Mtns. in the early 90’s, so I know that this allows us the fun and excitement without all of the tremendous stress and hardwork that you guys are dealing with. Keep up the good work!

Will, thanks for the breathtaking views of that familiar Texas sky. If the film captures anything close to the photos, you will have a cinematic prize in your grasp.
